V-Rooms™ Offers Free Service to Help Businesses Stay Healthy During Flu Season Ft. Worth (October 8) V-Rooms(TM), a Ft. Worth-based provider of cloud computing is offering a free month’s service ($395 value) to local businesses facing increased absenteeism due to the impact of the Swine Flu (H1N1) virus. This virtual workplace technology, typically used for confidential financial and legal transactions, offers an online, economical and secure document collaboration solution that allows company management to supervise their employees in a work-from-home environment. The V-Rooms solution is basically a workplace “insurance policy” which can be set-up within just a few hours. Although traditional file sharing/transfer programs are in use, they do not have the features necessary for the management of a virtual workforce. For example, using the document activity feature of our solution, management is able to remotely supervise the employees’ work performance by being able to identify “who, when and what is being worked on”. Similarly, using the extensive text search features, employees are able to easily find related documents that may need their attention. Also, access to those documents, folders or libraries is controlled on a peremployee basis to maintain the confidentiality of the information. “As a Dallas-Ft. Worth-based business, we want to offer the small business community, which typically has limited IT support, a discounted pricing structure for our business continuity solution during this time of increased absenteeism.” said Dan Bradbary, CEO of Due Diligence Online, LLC, parent company of VRooms . “Working moms with children at home are the specific individuals that we are most concerned about. Our program will allow them to securely work-from-home while taking care of their families.” According to a Harvard School of Public Health study of more than 1,000 businesses, released earlier this month, many American businesses are unprepared to deal with widespread flu-related employee absenteeism due to school dismissal, temporary closure of child care programs and illness of employees and their family member. Given the potentially high levels of employee absenteeism, businesses must be able to function in a virtual workplace environment. Employees must be reminded that emailing sensitive documents back and forth is not an acceptable alternative, due to the unsecure nature of emails. Conversely, our V-Rooms solution provides high levels of security while enabling easy access to information by authorized parties, allowing businesses to continue operations and remain healthy during these challenging times…at a price they can afford.

Special Discount Pricing Unlimited Usernames and Administrators Karen's True Story To try and stop the spread of the Swine Flu (H1N1) virus, on April 29, 2009, the Fort Worth School District, comprised of 140 schools, 80,000 students and 11,000 faculty and staff members, suddenly closed all of their schools for a seven day period. Here were Karen's thoughts: • • • When I first hear about the Swine Flu in the US, I casually dismissed it and thought "We don't have to worry about things like that around here." When I heard that the middle school my son is to attend next year had a probable case of Swine Flu, I listened a little closer, but still thought - "It's only one case." When the Fort Worth School District suddenly closed all of their schools I LISTENED, AND I THOUGHT - "This is really happening, and a lot of parents will be unable to go to work, and a lot of companies in the Fort Worth area will need to enact their business continuity plans in order to continue operations." In retrospect, my children remained home with me for the seven days, but I was still able to work. It was a little distracting, but they were home, safe, quarantined, and the actions taken by Fort Worth stopped the spread of this virus in our area. In the meantime, it was business as usual for my company, V-Rooms™ Virtual Data Rooms, because we can work from any location. All of our clients using our business continuity services are also able to access their documents and critical information and are able to collaborate with others securely, online, anywhere... anytime.
